After several unorthodox short cuts and using a plug wire from a 1987 Toyota MR2, I was able to start the engine on the 147 today. It ran for about 20 minutes. No smoke after the first 5 minutes. S/G is charging. It must have gotten some trash between the needle and seat from my makeshift fuel tank. It started to flood. I feel much better about the purchase after hearing it run. Now to continue with the tear down.
Sorry no pictures, but I'd rather not show some of the modifications it took to get it running. I'll continue to post pics as I can.
